Tours


This morning was spent making sandwiches for Capital City Mission, so that this afternoon could be spent at the supreme court. Not many people are aware of the supreme court, or have ever taken a tour. It is a very majestic looking building, and looks as if it was taken right from London. We were able to meet the only christian lawyer working in the supreme court, and she was able to tell us about her job. She works for the judges on recommendations, reasons as to why a case should be seen, or why it should be overlooked. The really neat thing about her job, is that if case contradicts her morals, all she has to do is give reasonable facts that support why the case should not enter the supreme court. (She can't say anything about it morally being wrong, she has to have real hard material) I thought that would be a much better job than being a lawyer, because you don't have to support something you don't agree with. So after our tour we went the the Museum of Civilization. While we were there we came to the coolest exhibit. It was our Canadian history from the explorers time and it was set up with little houses and cars. When we first entered the display the sky was blue and there was a breeze so that it felt and looked like you were outside on a summer evening. It was a blast. We took many pictures and I will try to post some for you over the next couple of days. We also went to the Imax to see a film about sky diving, and base jumping. It was so real, sometimes we got dizzy, and sometimes we were falling, it was a riot, except I don't think Richard liked it because when I looked at him he had his eyes closed. Well after a long day I am off to bed. Tomorrow is Friday!!!
